Well to keep u updated, I found a possible solution at the 7th tutorial doc

Shape file label operations~ Tutorial (7)

I used the code and did the NET4.0 instruction, but this isnt working yet, it generates 2 errors, one in each sub.... 1) Access..... through qualifying expression will not be evaluated AND 2) data is not a member of Dotspatial.Data.Featureset....

Any ideas to give me some direction......... i will first try to solve the 2nd one.....
